Help with Jasper 6 on Tomcat 7 Ubuntu 14.04

[jjenkins]

HI All,

I'm going throught the steps to install Jasper Report Server and running into some trouble.

I've gotten to the very end of the process but it seems I've done something wrong.

A few basics:

Ubuntu: 14.04
Tomcat (from package) - Version 7
JasperServer 6.2
Java: Oracle 7
MariaDB: With Mysql JDBC

Basically, I can run the buildmatic install routine and it appears to install jasperserver to the tomcat directory but I never see JasperServer even show up in my Tomcat Application Manager.  I connect to the database and build the tables.

Here is the tail end of my instal shell script:

deploy-webapp-datasource-configs:     [echo]      [echo] Property values (in app-server.xml: deploy-webapp):     [echo]  jsEdition = ce     [echo]  warFileDistSourceDir = /home/ubuntu/jasperreports-server-cp-6.2.0-bin/buildomatic/../jasperserver.war     [echo]  warTargetDir = /usr/share/tomcat7/webapps/jasperserver     [echo]  webAppName = jasperserver     [echo]  webAppNameCE = jasperserver     [echo]  webAppNamePro = jasperserver-pro     [echo]  webAppNameSrc = jasperserver     [echo]  webAppNameDel = jasperserver     [echo]  warTargetDirDel = /usr/share/tomcat7/webapps/jasperserver     [copy] Copying 8 files to /usr/share/tomcat7/webapps/jasperserverdeploy-webapp-ce:install-minimal-ce:     [echo] Installation successfully completed!BUILD SUCCESSFULTotal time: 2 minutes 47 secondsChecking Ant return code: OK[/code]

 

/var/log/tomcat/catalina.out shows no mention of Jasper Server!

Check under tomcat/webapps to make sure there's jasperserver directory there. I'm using Ubuntu 14.0.4 locally and all with OK with me.

As it turns out, we have 2 different directories to appeared to be Tomcat installs.

/var/lib/tomcat7[/code]

and

/usr/share/tomcat7/[/code]

Both had webapps directories but only the first one seemed to work.

Not sure how we managed to create two similar directories, we installed Tomcat from package.

It is in the documentation, when you use the package manager to install Tomcat you need to define in the default_master.properties file of the buildomatic the following : 
 

# Tomcat app server root dir
# appServerDir = C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0
# appServerDir = /home/devuser/apache-tomcat-7.0.26
# if linux package managed tomcat instance, set two properties below
CATALINA_HOME = /usr/share/tomcat6
CATALINA_BASE = /var/lib/tomcat6
